In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)], the Zn(II) cation is coordinated by two Cl(-) anions and two isoquinoline ligands in a distorted ZnCl(2)N(2) tetra-hedral geometry; the two isoquinoline ring systems are twisted with respect to each other at a dihedral angle of 45.72 (8)°. The parallel isoqiunoline ring systems of adjacent mol-ecules are partially overlapped, with the shorter face...

In the title compound, C(26)H(24)N(2)O(2)S, the dihedral angle between the thia-zole ring and the adjacent phenyl ring is 3.02 (15)°. The N-containing six-membered ring of the tetra-hydro-isoquinoline unit adopts a half-chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the least-squares plane of the tetra-hydro-isoquinoline ring system and its nearest phenyl ring is 76.90 (13)°. No classical hydro...

1,2-Disubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-diones are prepared for the first time through an activated Pictet-Spengler reaction of the corresponding imines of 2-(1,4-dimethoxynaphth-2-yl)ethylamine in the presence of an acyl chloride and AlCl(3) followed by an oxidation with silver(II) oxide in nitric acid. Depending on the reaction conditions the N-trichloroacetyl protecting ...

Mureidomycins (MRDs) E and F were isolated from a culture filtrate of Streptomyces flavidovirens SANK 60486 which produces MRDs A approximately D. They possessed the same molecular formulae, C39H48N8O12S and very similar UV, IR and NMR spectra, but differed clearly from each other in HPLC profile. From the hydrolysates of MRDs E and F, 8-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-isoquinoline carboxylic acid...

In the title compound, [Ag(C(10)H(9)N)(H(2)O)](C(6)H(6)NO(3)S), the Ag(I) atom is two-coordinated by one N atom from a 3-methyl-isoquinoline ligand and one water mol-ecule. The 4-amino-benzene-sulfonate counter-anion does not show any bonding inter-actions with the Ag(I) atom. The compound exhibits a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure constructed by hydrogen bonds. Adjacent isoquinolin...

In the title compound, C(16)H(13)IN(2), the benzene ring of the tetra-hydro-isoquinoline moiety makes a dihedral angle of 45.02 (9)° with the benzene ring of the 4-iodo-phenyl fragment. The N atom and the adjacent unsubstituted C atom of the tetra-hydro-isoquinoline unit are displaced by 0.294 (2) and 0.441 (3) Å, respectively, from the plane through the remaining eight C atoms. In the crystal,...

The complete molecule of the title compound, C(30)H(20)N(2)Se(2), is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre at the mid-point of the Se-Se bond. The dihedral angle between the isoquinoline-1-selenol group and the phenyl ring is 14.92 (2)°. The herringbone-like packing of the structure is supported by inter-molecular π-π stacking inter-actions with a shortest perpendicular distance betw...

the isolation and characterization of two new isoquinoline alkaloids, dehydropuntarenine and dehydrosaulatine, obtained during the column chromatography of an alkaloidal fraction from the roots of b. actinacantha (berberidaceae) are described.
